Busy October

-
It has been a while since I dmin blogged as I had been busy fighting fires at work, appointed as an admin for a Facebook Group ,

TATA SMRT(The Alternate Transport Advisory & Spore Magnificent Rescue Team)

the administrator, whom helped me with my community e-filing project as he felt that I was able to contribute to the group. I am glad that I am able to put my bus services knowledge to good use and be of help to the members to the group in times of the frequent train delays and breakdowns.

I had been disillusioned by my work recently as my boss had doubted my integrity over a task that I was assigned. Being in a professional tax consulting firm for the past 13 years, I must say it is an insult to me that I nearly decided to move on. The bad economy has played a part in stopping me from leaving for the time being. I am thankful for the support of my friends as well, for standing by me in this difficult times of mine.

The volunteer programme that I have been working on had hit some hiccups, but I was fortunate enough to have found a new partner to collaborate with me and my friends for this project.  We also have managed to find some locations to start the project. We have also managed to link up with the various organisations for the publicity of this project. I hope that all will be well when the time comes.

The ktv group that I have been leading for the past 9 years plus is doing fine, except that there has been a few strange people around. To me, it is not too good to be too aggressive as a guy when you express your interest to a gal. It is also wrong of a gal to accept the guy's offer to do things or deeds for her when she has no interest or liking for him. The same applies to a guy as well. It is also no good to ask probing questions that makes someone uncomfortable when he/she has only know you for a short period of time.

I am thankful that I have been treating my friends and people around me well enough that they are helping me in return in my time of need.

Pantang- Meaning Things Not To Do In Hokkien

There are certain things which some Chinese are pretty particular with:- Happy and sad events can't clash together within 100 days to a year. If a relative or loved one were to pass away, the immediate family member can't attend a happy event, like wedding & housewarming. The Teochews treat their eldest male grandchild as their youngest son. If you are getting married & your friend who is getting married invites you to his wedding, u are not allowed to attend. The old people say happy events clash. The red packet can't be given twice for a happy event. Likewise for the condolence packet. One should not give shoes or lamp to a birthday boy or gal, as it is believed that you may bring the person to his deathbed. These are some interesting stuff to share, especially to some blog readers who are not living in a place filled with Chinese.

I started my day early today at 8.30am. I was helping my mum with the flower decoration & slept at 1am last night. Had received CNY sms messages from my ex colleague, LS, Angela, Rebecca, Darling, Caifeng, Huixuan, Huiyu, Mac, Jaslyn, Joey, Candy , Kelvin, Rich & Mike. Thanks for all your well wishes, my friends. The 1st stop was at my grandma's place, which we were lucky to get a cab almost immediately after waiting for just a short while. In the ride, my mum & I were chatting casually about some issues that happened in S'pore recently, when we actually touched on the old cobbler cheating Vietnamese gals to be his bride. The cabby told us an incident that happened to his friend. His friend, a guy aged 39 had married a Thai gal aged 23 some years ago. Soon after, they became parents to a baby boy. When the boy turned 3, the gal took away the money in the joint bank account with her husband. The savings totalled to about $100,000, which the guy had saved for years fr...
